Game Crashes - HTML seems to common denominator

[ttt]

I tried all of the trouble-shooting steps on http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d-crashes.html, but they did not fix the problem.

Here's my info:

What were you doing? I was in Transactions and also had the Minor League System Report open in an external browser. I had moved around a good number of players and tried to save the game.

What happened? When I saved the game it crashed.

Reproducible? Yes, it had happened three times before but with various HTML pages - both in the game and in an external browser scenarios. Sometimes running the disk utility to repair permissions and rebooting would allow my saved league to continue, and in some instances it did not.

Problem occurs with other leagues? Yes, but it may not be on the same HTML page - see above for symptoms. In this instance, my other league is fine and can run without a problem, so clearly something must have corrupted files within my primary league. In fact, I can restart the game and select the crashed league and the loading bar appears and hangs-up on "Loading Players," and "Finishing" but the league will finally load. Everything operates without a problem until I try to view my team - which then instigates the crash again. My roster data must have been corrupted somehow.

I hope to hear from someone at OOTP Dev because I like the game and would definitely "activate" and recommend it to friends if the problem is fixed. I downloaded it from the Apple site to try and was really impressed, but the crashes have been a big disappointment, and restarting new leagues three times has been a colossal waste of time.

Here's the Apple error message if it helps:

Just to verify because you didn't mention it directly, from that FAQ:

Are you using the OOTP 8 MLB Quickstart? If you are and you are crashing from HTML screens in-game, this is a known issue with no present workaround. Other types of leagues should not have this issue.

Which type of league are you running? A purely fictional one? Historical?

[ttt]

I did have other leagues that also crashed as Quick Start games, but I read about that known issue and I've never loaded this league via Quick Start. I'm not sure if my league is considered historical or fictional. I created the league from the "New Major League Game" - so whatever that is considered.

[Nutlaw]

The New Major League Game option is the MLB Quickstart. It's just a faster way to get to it.

This is an issue that I have no workaround for. I'm sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

Is there anything else that I can help you with?
